Start Your Travel Conversation with a Phoenix-Based Designer
Complimentary conversations for travelers looking for depth.
European journeys, river cruises, and custom itineraries created just for you
Every trip I design begins with a conversation. This complimentary consultation is a chance to talk about how you like to travel, what draws your curiosity, and how you want your next experience to feel. Together, we'll see if a custom itinerary is the right fit for you.
This isn't a sales call. It's simply a chance to connect, ask questions, and see if working together feels right.
Who This Is For
This conversation is for travelers who want more than a list of sights to check off. It's for people who care about how a place feels, who want to move at their own pace, and who want to know that the details are taken care of so they can actually experience where they are.
Most of the people I work with are busy professionals in the Phoenix and Scottsdale area: executives, entrepreneurs, families with teens or grown children, sometimes even three generations traveling together. What they share is a desire to stop searching and start trusting someone who has already thought through the details.
If you're thinking about a European trip, a river or ocean cruise, a honeymoon, or a milestone celebration, and you want it to feel like it was designed for you; not pulled from a brochure, this is where we begin.
What to Expect From Your Consultation
We'll spend about half an hour talking about the kind of travel that actually matters to you. Maybe you already have a destination in mind, or maybe you're just starting to imagine what could be out there. Either way, this is a chance to talk about how you want to experience a place, not just where you want to go.
I'll ask about how you like to travel, what matters to you, and what has or hasn't felt right on past trips. You'll get a feel for how I design journeys and whether my approach fits what you're hoping for.
No forms to fill out, no homework. Just come ready to talk about what actually excites you about travel.
What Happens After the Consultation
If we decide to work together, I'll outline the next steps and start designing your trip. From there, you have someone handling every detail so you can focus on anticipation instead of logistics.
If it turns out we’re not the right fit, you’ll still leave the call with clear and honest advice about your next steps.
Either way, you'll walk away feeling informed and supported.
Common Questions
How long is the consultation? Most consultations last about 30 minutes. If we're discussing a complex trip or several destinations, it might take a bit longer. There isn't a strict time limit.
Is there a fee for the consultation? No, the first consultation is always free. If we choose to work together, I will explain my design fees and what they include before we start.
What should I have ready? You don't need to prepare anything special. If you know roughly when and where you want to travel, that's helpful, but we can also start from the very beginning if you're still just dreaming. This call is meant to help us figure it out together.
Do you only plan European travel? Europe is my main specialty, especially Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal. I also plan river and ocean cruises. For trips outside these areas, I work with a trusted network of specialists to make sure your trip gets the same attention and care, no matter where you want to go.
